Challenge: Nature with the Youth Foundation!

The Youth Foundation's Challenge: Nature is an outdoor-based experiential education program that is aimed at helping students that have been identified as needing extra support. Our goal is to aid in each student’s self discovery of the skills and knowledge needed to successfully learn and live within a community. 


Challenge: Nature also focuses on helping students achieve academic success with the idea that smaller group sizes of 6-9 students allows more individual attention than a typical academic classroom. Through connections to the instructor, group, and place, students will develop personal and life skills. These skills include personal awareness, effective communication, problem solving, decision-making and environmental awareness.

Success is not the key to happiness.  Happiness is the key to success.  If you love what you are doing you will be successful.
